Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions will scrutinise all attempts to totally refashion mankind and society, whether these hailed from the Left or the Right which, unusually, will receive equal consideration. Although its primary focus will be on the authoritarian and totalitarian politics of the twentieth century, the journal will also provide a forum for the wider discussion of the politics and faith of salvation in general, from the first stirrings of millenarian longings in the Middle Ages to the fundamentalist creeds of the present, together with examination of their inexorably catastrophic consequences. There are no chronological or geographical limitations, and re-evaluation of pioneering scholarship in these fields will be as important as original contributions or reviews of the latest scholarship. Potential contributors should bear in mind that the editorial emphasis will be on imagination, insight and understanding as well as research, with contributions on creative fiction or film as welcome as those on history narrowly conceived.'
